Rep. Mark Ouimet, from the 52nd District, offered the following invocation:

“At the beginning of this new legislative day, once again we come in gratitude for the opportunity to serve. We thank You that You have called us to be leaders, to work together, well and fair. We trust You that as we do our work, You will help us to be the best people we can be, and the most effective representatives of the great state of Michigan. We are also humbled to know that we cannot do this work alone, but only together, trusting one another.

As You have always led people through the generations to make good decisions, to be people pursuing justice, fairness and peace, so lead us. As we govern, may we do so faithfully, thinking of others, mindful of the needs of all people, and that our work will make a positive difference. Our leadership and ability to govern are from You - we will seek to be good stewards of these gifts.

A resolution to declare May 2012 as Children’s Mental Health Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Mental health is critical for the well-being and vitality of children, adults, families, communities, and businesses; and

Whereas, Up to 14 percent of children between birth and five years old experience social-emotional problems that negatively impact their functioning, development and school readiness; and

Whereas, Fifty percent of those youths suffering a mental illness drop out of high school, thereby experiencing reduced potential for education, employment, and income; and

Whereas, Seventy percent of youth in state and local juvenile justice systems have a mental illness; and

Whereas, Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth, 90 percent of those youth suffering from mental illness; and

Whereas, Learning to recognize the early warning signs of mental health problems and where to obtain necessary assistance and treatment gives children, youth, and adults better opportunities to lead full and productive lives; and

Whereas, Children, youth, and adults with mental health illnesses should, whenever possible, remain in a familiar environment and have access to coordinated, individualized, and home and community based services; and

Whereas, Mental health treatment works and investment in these services and supports is fundamental in the future of our youth, adults, and families; and

Whereas, All children, youth, and adults who experience brain disorders should have access to fair and equitable coverage; and

Whereas, The need for comprehensive, coordinated mental health services for children, youth, adults, and families is a critical responsibility of all local Michigan communities; and

Whereas, Our nation’s future depends on the health and well-being of its families and children; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 2012 as Children’s Mental Health Month in the state of Michigan. We express our support for the proactive leadership of the Michigan Department of Community Health, the Association for Children’s Mental Health, Michigan health care providers, quality improvement partners, and consumer advocates in the delivery of effective mental health services in Michigan; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Michigan Department of Community Health and the Association for Children’s Mental Health as a token of our highest esteem.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

Rep. Slavens moved to substitute (H-1) the resolution as follows:

Substitute for House Resolution No. 243.

A resolution to declare May 6-12, 2012, as Nurses Week in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The nearly 146,488 nurses in Michigan comprise the largest group of health care professionals in the state; and

Whereas, Nurses provide the most direct and continuous care to populations of every age and in every environment of care; and

Whereas, Nursing has been proven to be an indispensable component in the delivery of safe, effective, quality care for patients in virtually every setting; and

Whereas, Nurses generate and use specialized knowledge, skill, and caring to improve the health status of the public; and

Whereas, Nurses volunteer countless hours to their professional and other organizations to address health, health policy, and professional issues; and

Whereas, Each year the demand for nursing services will increase because of the aging of the Michigan population, continuing expansion of life-sustaining technology, increasingly complex health care needs of Michigan citizens, and the explosive growth of residential and home care services; and

Whereas, The development and maintenance of a vital nursing workforce in Michigan is of concern to all of our residents; and

Whereas, National Nurses Week, beginning May 6, 2012, provides an excellent opportunity to extend our appreciation and gratitude to the nurses of Michigan who serve twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week throughout the state; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 6-12, 2012, as Nurses Week in the state of Michigan. We ask that all residents of Michigan join in honoring the nurses who care for all of us. We also encourage all citizens to show appreciation for accomplishments in the field of nursing and efforts to improve the health of our state not just during this week, but at every opportunity throughout the year.

A resolution to declare May 2012 as Mental Health Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, Developmental disabilities impact the lives of sixty million Americans; and

Whereas, Developmental disabilities are medical conditions that disrupt a person’s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning, rendering them dependent on others for care and assistance; and

Whereas, Developmental disabilities can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income; and

Whereas, The U.S. Surgeon General reports that 10 percent of children and adolescents in the United States suffer from serious emotional and mental impairments that cause significant functional impairment in their day-to-day lives at home, in school, and with peers; and

Whereas, Approximately 179,455 people in Michigan suffer from developmental disabilities, or about 1.8 percent of Michigan’s citizens; and

Whereas, The Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council supports people with developmental disabilities to achieve their life’s dreams and ensure that all citizens of Michigan have the opportunities and support to achieve their full potential; and

Whereas, New opportunities have been created through collaborative efforts of family members, professionals and all levels of government to bring about significant changes in the public perception of young people and adults with developmental disabilities, opening new doors to independent and productive lives; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative declare May 2012 as Mental Health Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.

Messages from the Governor

Date: May 1, 2012

Time: 9:08 a.m.

To the Speaker of the House of Representatives:

Sir—I have this day approved and signed

Enrolled House Bill No. 5189 (Public Act No. 107, I.E.), being

An act to make, supplement, and adjust appropriations for various state departments and agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012; to provide for the expenditure of the appropriations; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

(Filed with the Secretary of State May 1, 2012, at 10:42 a.m.)

Explanation of “No” Votes

Rep. Haugh, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of Senate Bill No. 619, made the following statement:

“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on SB 619 because the bill allows for the expansion of cyber schools without addressing the foundation allowance questions which could mean a huge added expense to the School Aid Fund and without any regard for the quality of education students in this program would receive. Reports from our two existing cyber schools are due in the beginning of June and would give us the information policy makers need to ensure any expansion of cyber education would result in high quality schools producing high quality graduates. Once again, the Majority party in the Legislature is passing a piece of legislation based on anecdotal evidence to the detriment of Michigan’s children.

In addition, I object to the act of the Speaker ignoring the request for a division vote on Immediate Effect and ignoring the written demand for a record roll call vote with more than 1/5 support for that demand on the question of Immediate Effect for SB 619. I did not and do not support Immediate Effect for SB 619.”

The bill was read a first time by its title and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.

Announcements by the Clerk

The Clerk received the following dissent from Rep. Haugh:

Article IV, Section 18 of the Michigan Constitution states that “[a]ny member of either house may dissent from and protest against any act, proceeding or resolution which he deems injurious to any person or the public, and have the reason for his dissent entered in the journal.” Under this constitutional provision, I demand this be printed in the House Journal because I object to the act of gaveling on Immediate Effect to SB1005, SB349, and HB5365. I did not, have not, and do not support the gaveling on of immediate effect to SB1005, SB349, and HB5365.
